UbD Ch. 11 Curriculum Framework

My response to this chapter is very brief. I did not discover any new information that was not already covered in the previous chapters. At Rocketship the science and social studies curriculum is expected to be designed using UbD. This all goes back to framing curriculum those all important essential questions. Pulling out those really big ideas and moving forward from there to design macro curriculum. By the end of the chapter the authors proposed that all K-12 teachers should be required to design course syllabi like college professors. It is also suggested that it be displayed as a public document accessible to students, parents, and colleagues. Finally, teachers need to work on correcting the bad habit of designin around content instead of logic of learning. p. 301.
